S1 Episode 048: Facing Change In the Workplace Without the Migraine


Listen Later

Rick Maurer provides leaders who want to lead change the expertise to help them identify even deeply hidden resistance and turn that opposition into support. Rick’s approach to leading change is unique. He focuses on two fundamental questions: Why do people support us? Why do people resist us or our ideas? Understanding how to break through resistance is key to turning skepticism and opposition into support for new initiatives. If leaders understand resistance, they can often avoid it before it occurs – or get things back on track when a change is about to derail. 


Rick works closely with clients to develop change strategies that will work in their unique organizations. Some of the organizations he has worked with include Lockheed Martin, Deloitte, National GeoSpatial Intelligence Agency, Verizon, Charles Schwab, The Washington Post, NASA, Tulane University Hospital, Kaiser Permanente, and many government agencies in the US, Canada, the UK, Europe, and Russia. With an approach that is practical as well as easy-to-lean and apply, Rick can help business leaders around the world build strong support, energy, and forward momentum for their ideas and plans. His latest book, Seizing Moments of Possibility: Ways to Trigger Energy and Forward Momentum on Your Ideas and Plans, will be available for free on his website in May 2021. 

 

In this episode, we discuss:


How to build and sustain support and forward momentum for your company


The three types of resistance that people must overcome in business


Tackling lack of energy with a workforce to overcome the obstacles it presents


How to create positive change in your professional life


The importance of a willingness to be influenced to find success



I hope you will find this episode as exciting and informative as I have. Rick was so generous to share his better business practices regarding facing change in your business.
